Once more l confer with the EAGLE
proud old bird who from her central perch
in the modern Memphis on the American
Nile watches the progress of the great valley

without the old birds knowledge. She
knows already we have had a good deal OF
rain in our vicinity and the weather is
cooler and the mercury fingers no longer

accordingly happy.
A large delegation of excursionists took
in our city yesterday, from Dexter. The
opera hall was thrown open to them where
with music and song and feasting they
were happy, while some were shown over
the valley in vehicles by our citizens. Their
headquarters were in the very hall where

were born, say in the sixteenth
century, contemporaneous with the birth
OF Susan B. Anthony. The grounds are
beautifully laid out and one avenue of
horse chestnut trees mile long is grand
sight to behold. The palace consists of
five quadrangles constructed of brick and
contains apartments enough for any royal
family with numerous retinue. Many Of
the walls are adorned with fine tapestries
and the ceilings deliberately painted by
Thornhil and Verrio. At least twenty
five large rooms are hung with paintings of
great value to the number of perhaps one
thousand, and In the kings bedchamber is
the state bed Of Queen Charlotte, wife of
George III, while in another room is the
bed of William III, and in the queens
bedchamber is the bed of Queen Anne
with chairs and stools to match, all of
handsome silk finish. The pictures are by
famous artists and possess to the art en-
thusiast almost as much interest as those
contained in the National gallery. This

The charge that Rev. Bernard Kelley
mikes religion with his politics is not very
startling. If there was little more of ii
done politics and politicians would not be
the sufferers thereby City Re

President Lincoln once said this reminds
me of story. A boy said to his father:
PA, that bull pup is the best pup l ever
saw. You Just get down ON your hands
and knees and boo at him The old man
did as directed, when the pup caught him
by the ear and came near biting it off. All
the time the boy kept hallowing sick, bull
hold on''dad, it may be hard on you, but it
Is the making of the pup. The above mix
ture may be the making of politics, but We
are inclined to think 1t would be hard on

CHEEK

The man of monumental cheek as rule
does not command respect among the more
intelligent class of people. 1t can not be
denied, however, that among the common
herd cheek" is taken to indicate high
order of intellect, and in the language of
the street CANNON ''the man of cheek gets
there all the same" There Is apparently
no limit to the professions of cheek when
It is developed so nearly to perfection as to
resemble the government mule" That
musical animal is supposed to be the ideal
to which all individuals who are devel-
oping "cheek" are striving to gain.
People from this time hen ceforth who are
ambitious to achieve distinction in that di-
rection will find a superior ideal in the
Kansas City Times. That paper actually
proposes to set aside one day during the
visit of President Cleveland to that city on
which Kansas people may come and see
the president. 1t does this in face of the
fact that two months ago the EAGLE told
the WOTlu anu the rest Ol uldHhluu ludl
Mr. Cleveland was coming west this next
fall and would visit the metropolis of Kan
sas. Wichita. On that happy occasion the
vast multitudes assembled along Doug
las avenue and Main street
will constitute the grandest spectacle ever
beheld by eyes of man in the golden light
of sunny Kansas. The sound of our bugles,
and roll of our drums and the roar of our
cannon and the shouts of the populous,
who, when beheld by the chief executive
of this republic, will give him more ex-
alteG idea of the grand country over which
he rules, will be bourn away on the winds
like the noise of the mighty ocean when
surrounding continents are greaning from
earthquakes and volcanic mountains are
sending forth terrific eruptions, burying
cities and people beneath their molten rivers
of burning lava, or words to that effect
